Without notifying Xu Youxiang, Xia Yu arrived directly at the entrance of the residential compound with You Xue.
There, they were stopped by the security guard, and only then did Xia Yu call Xu Youxiang.
After the security guard let them in, the two arrived in front of Xu Youxiang’s villa, where the housemaid opened the door for them.
Inside, Xia Yu saw Xu Youxiang sitting on the sofa, looking at her laptop. The housemaid showed them to their room, and after placing their belongings, Xia Yu returned to the living room and sat beside Xu Youxiang.
“You’re not even surprised to see me?” Xia Yu hadn’t told Xu Youxiang beforehand about his visit.
“You Xue told me,” Xu Youxiang replied, closing her laptop and looking at Xia Yu. “If you were trying to surprise me, then you’ve failed.”
Taking Xu Youxiang’s hand, Xia Yu disagreed: “Even if you knew, you’re still surprised, aren’t you?”
Xu Youxiang’s face slightly flushed. Although she had mentally prepared herself, she indeed felt genuinely surprised when she received Xia Yu’s call and saw him in person.
“Brother…” You Xue came out of her room looking for Xia Yu, but upon seeing their hands intertwined, coughed once and returned upstairs.
However, she didn’t go back to her room. Instead, she hid at the top of the stairs, observing the two.
She saw them chatting casually.
These two definitely had a special relationship!
Continuing to observe, she was surprised to see Xia Yu pick up Xu Youxiang and head upstairs.
You Xue quickly moved to a different hiding spot.
Watching Xia Yu, who was carrying Xu Youxiang, enter her room and close the door, the girl covered her mouth.
But inside the room, things were completely different from what You Xue imagined.
Xia Yu placed Xu Youxiang on the bed, drew the curtains, and sat on the edge of the bed, looking into her eyes as she appeared anxious.
Without sunlight or artificial lighting, Xu Youxiang’s eyes now appeared light purple.
Although it wasn’t the first time Xia Yu had seen Xu Youxiang’s eyes, this was indeed the first time he had seen her light purple eyes using his own body. Previously, when he had seen them, her pupils had still been amber.
Combined with the blush on Xu Youxiang’s face, her light purple eyes looked even more beautiful.
If he had used Xu Youxiang’s body to look at herself, there would definitely be no blushing.
Such a beautiful sight instinctively made Xia Yu want to preserve it. He took out his phone, but shortly after, he put it back down.
Even if the phone camera was powerful, it couldn’t compare to a camera.
Letting Xu Youxiang wait on the bed for a moment, Xia Yu walked out of the room and knocked on You Xue’s door.
When You Xue opened the door, she was puzzled about why her brother wasn’t busy doing anything inappropriate with his girlfriend’s best friend and instead came to find her.
It wasn’t until Xia Yu said, “Lend me your camera,” that You Xue finally understood.
So he wanted to take some photos.
Wait, photos?
You Xue’s face turned red.
She hesitated before taking out her DSLR camera and handing it to Xia Yu.
“Do you have a macro lens?” Xia Yu asked again.
He even wanted to use the macro lens!
The girl’s face turned even redder as she retrieved the macro lens from her bag and gave it to Xia Yu.
After receiving the equipment, Xia Yu returned to Xu Youxiang.
Seeing Xia Yu fully equipped with a DSLR camera, Xu Youxiang’s embarrassment flared up. She turned her head away, refusing to let Xia Yu take photos.
“Be good, turn around, I’ll just take pictures, no videos,” Xia Yu coaxed Xu Youxiang.
Xu Youxiang shook her head, unwilling to cooperate.
Xia Yu tried other ways to persuade her but couldn’t get the desired result. Xu Youxiang still refused.
Grabbing Xu Youxiang’s body, Xia Yu turned her upper body straight, but Xu Youxiang twisted her neck and turned her head away again.
Xia Yu tried to adjust Xu Youxiang’s head again, and the two struggled.
“I’ll just take one photo,” Xia Yu said.
“Not even one!” Xu Youxiang refused to comply.
In the struggle, the two fell onto the bed together.
Looking at Xia Yu’s face just inches away, Xu Youxiang became flustered.
Xia Yu slowly moved closer to Xu Youxiang’s face, and Xu Youxiang nervously closed her eyes.
However, she long felt no further action from Xia Yu and, puzzled, opened her eyes again to see the DSLR camera right in front of her.
Click—
Xia Yu had chosen burst mode. Looking at the photos, he felt deeply satisfied.
What he liked most was Xu Youxiang’s light purple eyes.
“Pervert!” Xu Youxiang, still feeling resentful, punched Xia Yu.
Her punch lacked strength; compared to a hit, it was more like teasing.
“Come on, smile,” Xia Yu raised the DSLR again.
An hour later, You Xue, who was anxiously walking around in the room, heard a knock on the door.
Opening the door, You Xue saw Xia Yu holding the DSLR camera.
Xia Yu handed the camera back to her.
You Xue didn’t immediately reach out to take it. Thinking that this camera had taken inappropriate photos, she felt uneasy.
Never thought that this was the kind of DSLR camera!
Enduring her embarrassment, You Xue accepted the camera, only to hear Xia Yu say:
“Transfer the photos inside to me.”
Since Xia Yu didn’t bring a card reader or any cables, he couldn’t transfer the photos from the DSLR himself, so he could only ask You Xue to help.
Upon hearing his words, You Xue nearly threw the DSLR in her hand out.
Was there even incriminating evidence in this camera?
Even if she was his sister, shouldn’t he show her such things!
Helpless, he was indeed a brother overly dependent on his sister.
Sighing, You Xue agreed.
After Xia Yu left, she opened her laptop and connected the DSLR.
Before clicking on the photo album file, You Xue took a deep breath to adjust her mindset.
With determination, she opened the album.
What she saw was a series of photos of eyes.
“…”
So the macro lens was for this?
Although those eyes were indeed beautiful.
You Xue felt somewhat disappointed.
After copying the photos and sending them to Xia Yu, You Xue felt a sense of dullness.
On the other side, after receiving the photos, Xia Yu wandered around the villa. He came to the piano room, where there was a piano.
The previous owner of this villa was also a piano enthusiast, but he had taken the piano with him when he left.
This piano was bought by Xu Youxiang.
Did she feel she might need a piano, so she prepared one?
Looking inside the nearby cabinet, Xia Yu also saw a guzheng, a dizi, and a sheng.
Xu Youxiang’s preparations were quite comprehensive.
This suited Xia Yu’s wishes perfectly. Approaching the piano, he continued composing a new piece for An Siyao.
The name of the piece was “Princess of Serenity,” the name of a legendary flower.
By evening, Xia Yu returned to Xu Youxiang’s bedroom to tutor her in programming.
At nearly midnight, Xia Yu clicked on the bear’s icon and entered the bear’s domain.
After a moment of darkness, Xia Yu saw the familiar cave.
It was early morning in Zone 232.
In the daylight, Xia Yu saw a small cloth bag inside the cave. Inside the bag were items the mask girl carried with her, such as a dagger and matches.
It seemed that during the days he hadn’t come here, the mask girl had completely made this cave her base.
Just thinking about it, Xia Yu suddenly sensed a bit of danger.
It was a warning transmitted through telepathy.
Climbing up the tree at the cave’s entrance, Xia Yu observed the surroundings, trying to locate the source of the danger.
Soon, he locked onto the target.
It was a burly man with a thick waist, holding a wooden spear in his hand.
Was he specifically here to hunt bears?
But Xia Yu had already thoroughly checked the appearance of the village hunters. That was a thin middle-aged man, not the burly man in front of him.
If he wasn’t a hunter, what did this burly man want, coming here so aggressively?
Well, just beat him up first.
